This invention relates to locomotives the fire of which is continually reviv ed by suctional draught, and it has for its primary object to provide a lo'comotiveof this kind with which feed-water heater is, arranged in the channel connecting theblower with the smoke box. 7

An embodiment ofthe subject matter of the invention is diagrammatically illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Fig. lis aside elevationo-f: the locomotive, and V V.
